blathering blatherskite!
Because they want to sell it when they sell off rare/their gaming division
Perfect Dark developed by The Initiative confirmed
- Thread starter Tenchi Ryu
- Start date
My suspicion is they'd rather have the franchise rot than have someone else possibly make a huge success off something they owned. We also exist in an age where a company like Konami can sit on an IP long enough to have some other team step in and make whole games off it that Konami still owns.
I still think it's silly here because Perfect Dark isn't that valuable of a franchise anymore. Perhaps Take Two can make something of it but Microsoft pretty much demolished it with the last mainline game.
Literally every media company retains their IP whether active or not.
In here nikkas pretend to be flabbergasted about why a company would do such a thing.

they never finished the project reboot...
Imagine thinking wasting probably 100 million plus to sit on a IP and sale is in bulk with the company is the play.
Meanwhile Xbox is buying whole companies strictly and majorly for the IP's alone.
Y'all dudes aren't paying attention.
They don't want anymore situations like Sunset overdrive and other shelved games were they don't have creative control over the IP. Especially established ones, a take two/ CD developed perfect dark would have been insane and an IP the essentially sold for a couple hundred million for one game.
Doesn’t matter to me outside of making a comment to the weird reaction.
Don’t change my day. I just made a comment
This bytch puts on a cape the second someone slanders M$ and now he's like "doesn't matter to me"
The funny thing is, yall talmbout “defense”This bytch puts on a cape the second someone slanders M$ and now he's like "doesn't matter to me"
There would be no defense if you weirdos didn’t spend your every internet moment finding something to attack.
Me saying all media companies retain their IP is not a defense it’s the truth.
If you find yourself feeling the truth is a “defense” of something, you are probably in an irrational cult bubble, having a tussle with reality

Thanks to the lawyers uh, I marbled the foyer
I'm personally disappointed cause this was supposed to be the Earth's first AAAA game 
When do we ever actually hear about a company rejecting a legit offer for a dormmate IP though? Especially one where they tried and failed to make a game of that clearly had cost they could recoup some of if they sold it?Literally every media company retains their IP whether active or not.

Cult members
The irony of calling someone a cult member when using cult like logic to defend a company blowing up a project they have no intention of either continuing or doing anything with while there was an offer on the table from another company to take it over.
Companies blow up projects and retain IP every day B.
Your cult training forces you to reach for a way to make normal behavior something different or nefarious based on who’s doing the action.
They spent the better part of a decade developing the game with nothing to show for it but all the cost that entailed. This is an IP that hasn't had a new game in 20 years and hasn't had a game considered good in 25 years. What value does the IP even have anymore? Also that good game wasn't even made on their platform to begin with.

You talk of them having creative control over the IP. Well their creative control is what's kept anything from surfacing for over 20 years on it.
There's clearly a difference between blowing up a project and having a potential buyer step in for a failed project and make a legit offer to take on a failed project that cost you money.Companies blow up projects and retain IP every day B.
Your cult training forces you to reach for a way to make normal behavior something different or nefarious based on who’s doing the action.
Your defense of this is unnecessary because we all know Microsoft would rather sit on the IP and never release another Perfect Dark game again than have Take Two buy it out and put out a successful project.
No company EVER sells IP unless they are dying.
It’s crazy yall in here pretending this type of deal is some normal shyt any other company has or would sign up for.
Again if me saying “this is normal business as usual”, the truth, is seen as a “defense”
it’s cause you cult members are irrationally “attacking” the truth.
